I've got the standard headlights and I would definitely advise anyone ordering a new van to get the LEDs!

These are so much worse than my standard 2010 headlights. It is actually worrying to drive on a highway at speeds with no streetlights and high-beams arent an option.

Hi,

I have a 2018 Golf R 7.5, it's done 14,000KM, all of a sudden its become extremely bumpy, no matter what driving mode I'm in (comfort, race, eco etc)it's as if I'm always driving on a road with heaps of small little bumps, even if its a smooth road.

It seems to be happening...

Hi,
Have just started researching into upgrading to T5 caravelle.
Have noticed a few threads on here about the auto boxes....ie box sealed for life....and how this has lead to a few gearbox failures...

Were the pre 2010 6 speeds mostly the ones affected...or did the newer...

The 188,000 km 2.0L TDI DSG has been great from new.
Recently did a 2,000km round trip then put it in for service at local VW dealer.

Came back with parking lights on as daytime running lights and a mid-range flatspot around 50-60 kph. Used to just accelerate in the same gear...

I was using TJA today and was at very slow crawling speeds down around 20kph or less and I noticed that the steering reminder did not seem to display after the customary 13 seconds. Am I going nuts? Has anyone else noticed this. I was talking to someone in the car at the time and I am sure I did not...

I have a 2011 TDI at 165K now and wondered if anyone had increased the sound deadening in a diesel TDI and if so what approaches did you use.

At highway speeds it is OK but around town I would like a bit more peace and quiet. Cheers

I've just noticed that as of yesterday the VW Aus site is showing the Alltrack as 7 Speed DSG and you can no longer build the Wolfsburg edition. The MY 18.5 brochure is ambiguous saying 6 in some parts and 7 in others. Does anyone know for sure when the 7 speeds DSG (wet clutch) is coming to the Passat...

Not sure if other states have many of those speed detection gantry's that display speeds of cars travelling in each lane on major highways.

I enquired about them in Victoria, hoping to find some closer to home, but unfortunately they're either a fair distance away, or are being decommissioned....

Hi everyone,
I am getting a really annoying creaking noise from my RH door trim, not sure whether it's front or back. Creaks at low speeds or over bumps. Pressing the trim along the middle edges makes it creak as well, so that could well be the source of the creaks.
Does anyone know how...

Lately I am hearing a groan from the front end as I turn the wheel. Mostly detectable at parking speeds. Any tips on what to look for here? I am pretty new to these cars.

Hello Folk.
My wife is presently driving from Armidale to Gympie in our nearly 5 year old Jetta , 190 000ks, fully loaded with 5 adults.
In the last 30 minutes it seems to have lost power, ending up creeping over hills at near walking speeds after having gone through the gears to as low...

Do any other mulitvan owners experience harsh braking, especially at lowest speeds?

Mine seems to grab quiet well.

Got my new gti recently and have started to realise quite a loud grinding/moaning noise when braking or coming off the brakes at low speeds (e.g. when reversing or slowly moving forward (parking))

What could this be? should i get it looked at?

Also the car keeps telling me...

I'm starting to get a high pitched whine when driving exactly 100km/h, around 2500 rpm.
If I briefly take my foot off the pedal the whine completely goes away. All other speeds appear to not induce any whining, including above 100km/h.
Any idea what this could be?

Hello all.

Bought a limestone grey golf 7 r a few weeks back and loving it so far .. I just hope to keep my licence long enough to enjoy it as it gets to legal speeds without so much as trying.....

Anyway, it's become my favourite toy.....
